Dress Rehearsal for Mercury Retrograde
May 8, 9, 10 2015 Weekend Shamanic Weather
So..what did YOU dream about overnight? This weekend our dreams will be digging up, healing, clearing out old stuff and bringing in and interpreting awesome information, especially overnight from May 8 to May 9. Be sure to write the good stuff down! This is all dress rehearsal for Mercury Retrograde in Gemini beginning May 18, 2015.
Friday the Sun and Moon BOTH are in Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn, so we feel more sure-footed and centered even as we process last night’s dreams. Perhaps that inner focus is what let’s us get thrown a bit when the Grounded Goat Moon starts butting heads with the Magnanimous King (Jupiter in Leo), knocking us off our self-assured knoll of knowing ourselves well. Self examination reveals a new twist to our perspective, emotions may ride high, for a bit, but by evening we are better for it and ready to shine our true colors.
“Expect the Unexpected” is the theme as the Grounded Goat Moon gets into it with the Skylord of Anarchy (Uranus in Aries) on Friday night, and from then on the Winged Messenger (Mercury in Gemini) flexes his wings and flies fast and hard, activating our thoughts and feelings at high levels in preparation for Mercury Retrograde stirring things up for the next several weeks.
Visions for the future, hungry ghosts of the past, and opportunities for truly positive action all present themselves on Saturday. However, the Winged Messenger and the Stern Ruler of Expansion (Saturn in Jupiter) get into it and revive an old feud. We may spend a portion of the day trying to find where we contributed to an unexpected or gosh-that-got-bigger-that-I-thought it would disagreement. The Grounded Soldier (Mars in Taurus) encourages positive action, and Grandmother Moon moving into the Quantum Visionary Aquarius elevates our eyes to broader horizons.
Sunday is a rich mix of humorous, game-changing interactions and realizations and further understanding of the Winged Messenger deliveries as we weave group activities with meaningful solitude. Get ready is the overall message here, this is a great time to set ourselves up for a very successful Mercury Retrograde and the next portion of 2015.
SITUATION
Some of my recent clients will chuckle when they see the cards I have pulled today!
The 13th card of the Major Arcana is the Death Card, and in the Wild Wood, Raven heralds the journey from one state of existence into another. Here Raven is literally picking at the bones of what has served well but is now no longer “alive” for you. Notice the focus on the Third Eye – perceptions need to change! The Full Moon symbolizes the timing is right to reap the benefits of your work before they fall fallow. Death is merely change, and always for the better, although it is often painfully difficult to surrender to it.
CHALLENGE
Take charge of the situation! Moses may have parted the Red Sea, but he also had his moments of facing his control issues and the muddy waters of could-a-should-a-would-a. Don’t be left roaming the deserts of “I’m gonna do this MY way” for 40 years! Part the emotional waters of confusion, ego attachment, blind tradition and fear-based assumptions and reveal the pathway to your own personal power!
ADVICE
To get to the bottom of things, go within. Bear leads us to Introspection on the Spirit Path of the West. We sit by our inner rivers and watch the currents, see where the eddies form, find the tasty Salmon (wisdom and knowledge) and consumes his gifts. We remember our unique rhythms, and give thanks for the gifts we’ve received, both asked for and not. Read the totem pole of your own history and allow new understanding to unfold. Your refreshed perspective helps bring you back onto the path that honors your soul purpose. Then write this down, anchor it and use it to guide you in navigating the coming invitation from the Universe to get very clear on the message you want to live in this world.
What a magical weekend – so much brewing up, so many opportunities for joyous highs and, of course, the shadow times too. Make this a weekend to Roar about!
